Synopsis

:

This course
introduces the fundamentals of scientific programming languages and
techniques used by engineers to solve engineering problems. Students will be
introduced to common scientific programming languages and their comparative
advantages and disadvantages. Emphasis is placed on fundamentals of
programming, program design, verification and visualization. The goal is to
provide the students with the skills in scientific computing, tools,
techniques that can be used to solve their own engineering problems. Students
will learn to implement algorithms using high level programming language
(e.g. MATLAB, Mathematica, FORTRAN). The programming skills acquired in this
course will allow students to go beyond what is available in pre-packaged
analysis tools, and code their own custom data processing, analysis and
visualization for any engineering problem.
